In April 2026 there’s big trouble on planet Earth. The in-sky Mars, Saturn and Neptune discord is unprecedented. Nothing in humanity’s recent and not so recent past has prepared it for this moment.
With the Gulf region embroiled in conflict and the world experiencing an energy crisis, inflationary pressures, apprehension and uncertainty Neptune on April 24, 2026 at 4.41am GMT moves from south to north declination heralding the start of a new Neptune cycle.
The time won’t be precise. Different sources give different times. The American Ephemeris (Revised and Expanded edition) gives 4.41am MICA calculates 4.41.22am – the time we are using. On April 24, 2026 Neptune is moving at 1 second of declination in 31 minutes and the cycle starts the moment it moves from south to north declination.
The cycle has a short 308-day duration and ends February 26, 2027.
Neptune is the planet of oil, inflation, aviation, schemes, corporations, stocks, drugs, escapist entertainment, chaos and apprehension and its 2026 cycle starts with progressed Uranus square Neptune in the Uranus cycle > peak date is April 21 > end date is May 9.
Neptune is semisextile Sun (world leaders and governance), trine Moon (the common, everyday people), sextile Venus (women and the arts sector), conjunction Saturn (security, economy, harsh reality and fear), sextile Uranus (unrest, protests, technology and innovation) and sextile Pluto (cooperative effort).
(Sun, Moon and Pluto form a T-square and Neptune conciliates the Moon-Pluto opposition.)
But the cycle is best viewed as an aberration that’s likely to have a single influence on events involving the world’s oil supply and inflation with Neptune’s schemes aimed at addressing the economic crisis caused by the Iran conflict.
Other events associated with the cycle include aviation chaos, investor panics, down and up stock prices and pharmaceutical supply problems and the cycle is permanently live.
Progressed Neptune is semisextile Sun (April 24 to September 25); parallel Saturn (May 25 to August 12 and October 16 to January 31, 2027); trine Moon June 7 to August 7) and conjunction Neptune (August 14 to November 3 and January 20, 2027 to February 26, 2027).
This puts the focus on aspects involving Neptune in the Sun, Mars and Jupiter cycles as timing major events in the Neptune cycle.
Progressed Saturn is parallel Neptune in the Saturn cycle from October 24, 2026 to January 10, 2027.
The in-sky Saturn-Neptune conjunction is active till March 27, 2027 so oil and gas prices and airfares are staying high, there’s a prolonged period of high inflation, economic activity is recessed, hardship is widespread, and the global economy is changing.
During this Neptune cycle Mars in the sky is conjunction Uranus on July 4, 2026 and conjunction Jupiter November 16, 2026.
With Neptune’s capacity to spin a story, exaggerate and generally lie and Pluto’s propaganda and disinformation in full flight it will take keen discrimination to track what’s really going on and sort facts from fictions and real events from fake (AI) news stories.
